With the mission to build healthy families and communities by way of activation, education and mobilization, the Community Empowerment Association, Inc. (CEA) over the last decade has been tirelessly serving thousands of disadvantaged and minority families throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area.
One of the major activities we sponsor has been the Black Family Reunion Festival. The festival is the biggest African American focused event in the Pittsburgh area. The purpose of the fun filled event is to bring together communities from the greater Pittsburgh area for two peaceful, uplifting and enjoyable days.
Last year the event was an outstanding success!
With only about six weeks of planning, the turnout was over 8000 people. People of all ages were in attendance: this was truly a family event. With much more planning and new attractions for this years event, we expect anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 people to attend.
